## Description
Hey board game fans! Ready to become Hollywood moguls? In "Hollywood", each of you steps into the shoes of a studio boss aiming to produce the next blockbuster hit. Here's the deal: you'll assemble your movies using cards. It kicks off with an open draft, where everyone grabs some cards to get a feel for what's available. Then, an auction takes place to snag the most coveted stars – after all, who doesn't want the current A-lister in their film, right? These star cards are the game's gold, bringing in cash and those sought-after Hollywood Awards. 

With your hand of cards (nine in total, for those keeping track), the mission is to create one or more movies. Each masterpiece needs, at a minimum, a solid script, a great director, and a lead actor or actress. Want to boost the box office? You can add more cast members, but remember: the more star power, the greater the profit potential! Successful films fill your coffers and bring you closer to victory. The game unfolds over three production years, and at the end of it all, the Hollywood Awards give that extra push to your bank account. The player with the most cash wins the Oscar... I mean, the game! It's a fun and strategic race to see who reigns supreme in the movie business. Ideal for those who enjoy a light theme and accessible mechanics.
